Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 10 Handmade Landscape Soap

The landlady smiled and said to Jiang Jinyu, "I'll ask someone to ask."

Jiang Jinyu nodded and looked around at the items on the counter.

She didn't feel offended at all. After all, her age was here, and it was normal for people and stores to be worried.

Not long after, the aunt came over and replied: "My boss, that man is indeed this little girl's father. He let her come by herself because it was difficult for her to come in."

The landlady nodded and took down a few items wrapped in oil paper from a shelf.

Jiang Jinyu's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Is it soap?"

The proprietress opened it to reveal what was inside, and it turned out to be several pieces of soap of different colors.

She asked good-naturedly: "They are all twenty cents each. What color do you want?"

"I want a piece of both." Jiang Jinyu handed over the silver in his hand.

There were four colors in total, which cost her 920 coins. Jiang Jinyu thought worriedly, how would she take this out?
Fortunately, the boss's wife obviously thought about this problem, and she found a few smaller pieces of silver from the drawer.

"This is nine cents of silver. I'll give you another twenty cents." She said as she handed it to Jiang Jinyu.

Well, Jiang Jinyu was ashamed. Forgive her for not having used silver. She had forgotten that silver did not have a fixed denomination like banknotes.

Finally buying everything, the two of them went to the cloth store before going back.

It is the time when mosquitoes are most abundant. If you don’t put a tent on the kang, you may be carried away by mosquitoes when you fall asleep at night.

It is said that the best material for making a tent is silk yarn, but it is a pity that her family has no money. Jiang Jinyu thought regretfully, hoping that the tent made of this kind of homespun cloth would be more breathable and would not make her faint at night.

After walking down a few times, I saw that it was almost lunch time.

He planned to go back to the pier to take the boat, but Jiang Mingshun suddenly stopped halfway and pointed across the street: "Fish Girl, do you want to eat steamed buns?"

"No," Jiang Jinyu shook his head: "Dad, let's leave quickly, or we'll miss the boat."

She had asked before coming. The village boat leaves in the morning and returns at noon. If no one comes out in the afternoon, it will not come out to pick up people again until dinner.

She didn't want to wait at the pier all afternoon just for a bun.

When the sun rose to its highest point, Jiang Mingshun carried Jiang Jinyu into the house.

Jiang Jinyu's face turned pale. She almost vomited bile on the boat just now.

"What's wrong?" Bai Shi patted her back worriedly.

Jiang Mingshun put down his backpack: "She's seasick. Let her rest. She'll be fine in a while."

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Jinyu felt that the uncomfortable feeling of nausea was gone from his stomach.

When Bai Shi brought the food to the table, the aroma of the food filled the air, and Jiang Jinyu's empty stomach immediately made a loud "gurgling" sound.

The family of three happily ate their first meal after moving in a simple thatched house.

After taking a short rest, Jiang Jinyu dug out a few things he bought today from his backpack.

"Mom, cut these soaps into small pieces. The smaller the better." She handed several pieces of soap to Bai.

From the moment she took out several pieces of soap of different colors, Bai's eyes were glued to them. "Cut them all?" She was a little hesitant. She had never used the most common soap, and she used soap locust to wash clothes at home. Now she was asked to cut better colored soap, but she really didn't dare to do it.

"Cut them all." Jiang Jinyu said decisively. Seeing her mother turn around to get the knife, she added: "Mom, don't mix different colors together."

After giving instructions to Mrs. Bai, she said to Jiang Ming: "Dad, please go boil a pot of hot water."

The process of melting soap is not troublesome, but it is a pity that we only have one pot at home and cannot do it at the same time, which wastes a lot of time for no reason.

It wasn't until only vaguely human figures could be seen in the room that Jiang Jinyu made a finished product that satisfied her.

She clapped her hands, put the mold filled with soap liquid in a cool corner, and said to Jiang Mingshun and Bai with satisfaction: "It can be cut tomorrow morning."

Bai Shi pointed to the extra soap hesitantly: "What should I do with these?"

Patting her head in annoyance, Jiang Jinyu secretly cursed herself for not thinking well enough and shouldn't have melted so much at once.

She replied helplessly: "Leave it alone for now, and then melt it again tomorrow when it's time to do it."

With soap in mind, Jiang Jinyu got up early the next day.

She took a willow stick and dipped it in a little coarse salt and squatted in the yard to rinse her mouth.

As soon as she entered the mouth, Jiang Jinyu was so salty that she frowned. She thought angrily: When I make money, I must buy toothpaste first.

In this world's rural areas, villagers don't go out of their way to cook in the morning. After getting up, everyone goes to work in the fields while the weather is cool, and then goes home for lunch before the hottest day.

Jiang Jinyu was a little uncomfortable at first, but he endured it and gradually got used to it.

But now, she held a piece of thick flour pancake that Bai's had just baked in her hand, and while chewing it, she thought that she would still have to develop the habit of three meals a day for the whole family in the future. Under such medical conditions, hunger would cause stomach problems. It's a big trouble.

Jiang Jinyu looked at the sky and saw that the room was gradually getting brighter. She reached out and touched the soap she made last night.

Feeling the cold touch from her fingers, she shouted excitedly behind her: "Mom, come here quickly with a piece of cotton thread!"

After holding the mold and placing it on the table, Jiang Mingshun, who was chopping firewood outside, also gathered around.

"That's it. Pull the thread straight down with both hands and it must be tight." Jiang Jinyu took the thread from Bai's hand and showed his father how to cut it: "Dad, do you understand?"

Jiang Mingshun nodded to show that he knew, but he still asked with a troubled face: "Fish Lady, why don't you just cut it with a knife? Isn't it convenient and fast?"

Jiang Jinyu: "."

How did she know this? Isn't that how the thread cutter is used in the short videos? Just follow the instructions.

"Ahem, maybe it would look better if it was cut like this," she quickly changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "Dad, please cut off the front part first, and don't want this part."

Sure enough, after cutting it open, a simple landscape painting was revealed inside.

Jiang Jinyu clapped her hands with satisfaction. Although the content of this painting is very simple and is far less beautiful than the landscape handmade soap she made in the videos she saw online in her previous life, it is definitely enough for now and she will slowly improve it in the future. Well.

Jiang Mingshun and Bai next to them were completely stunned. They had no idea why they just squeezed several colors of soap together, but after cutting them open, a painting appeared inside.

Especially Jiang Mingshun, as someone who cuts the soap with his own hands, he has even begun to wonder if there is some magic cast on the cotton thread on his hand. For example, as long as anything is cut with it, a painting or something will appear inside.

Otherwise, why would his daughter have to let him cut with cotton thread?What else is there to say that it looks better when cut? ?
